Greetings -- I'm looking at several FP languages for data mining, and
was annoyed to learn that Erlang represents each character as 8 BYTES
in a string which is just a list of characters. Now I'm reading a
Haskell book which states the same. Is there a more efficient Haskell
string-handling method? Which functional language is the most
suitable for text processing?
Cheers,
Alexy
